Abstract
PURPOSE To report the surgical approaches and outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for retinal detachment associated with retinal dialysis. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. SUBJECTS All patients who underwent surgery for retinal detachment secondary to retinal dialysis between January 1, 2012, and January 1, 2022. METHODS Retrospective consecutive case series. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), single-operation success rate. RESULTS The study cohort included 60 eyes of 58 patients with a mean age of 26.4 (standard deviation, 13.0) years. Males comprised 49 (84.5%) patients. Known trauma occurred in 35 (61.4%) cases. Initial surgical management included scleral buckling (SB) in 49 (81.7%) eyes and combined SB and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in 11 (18.3%) eyes. Preoperative BCVA correlated with BCVA at last follow-up visit (r = 0.66; P < 0.001). At last visit, the SB group had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA of 0.36 (20/46) and a single-operation success rate of 76.9% at 6 months, whereas the SB/PPV group had a mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution BCVA of 1.08 (20/238) and single-operation success rate of 77.8% (P = 0.04 and P = 0.96, respectively). Six eyes in the SB/PPV group received silicone oil tamponade. In eyes with at least 1 year of follow-up, 4 (14.8%) in the SB group and 6 (100%) in the SB/PPV group developed a visually significant cataract requiring cataract surgery (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Retinal detachment associated with retinal dialysis is typically associated with trauma and more often occurs in young male patients. The current study confirms that SB without PPV is an effective initial treatment strategy for most patients with retinal dialysis and has a low rate of cataract formation.

[PMID: 36575309 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04782-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
To report clinical outcomes following ocular injury from foam dart (nerf) blasters - a spring-loaded toy guns that fire foam-coated darts or bullets at a relatively low velocity. These guns gained popularity in recent years among children and adolescents. Eleven patients with ocular injuries from foam dart blasters were included in this retrospective, single-center study. Visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and anterior segment, glaucoma-related, and vitreoretinal complications were recorded at each visit. The average age at presentation was 13.4 years and 82% were male. Mean initial VA was 6/12 (range 6/6 - 1/18); On initial examination, nine patients (82%) had hyphema, three (27%) had corneal abrasions, three (27%) had vitreous hemorrhage, and two (18%) had traumatic mydriasis. Four patients (36%) experienced glaucoma-related complications, including three (27%) with angle recession and three (27%) with increased IOP. Three patients (27%) were diagnosed with posterior segment injuries, including three (27%) with commotio retinae and one (9%) with severe retinal photoreceptor damage. No patients required surgical intervention. CONCLUSION Foam dart blasters can cause severe blunt ocular trauma and permanent visual loss, illustrating the need for eye protection when handling these toys. WHAT IS KNOWN • Foam dart blasters, a blanket term for spring-loaded toy guns that fire foam-coated darts or bullets at a relatively low velocity, have gained popularity in recent years among pediatric populations, with an increase in associated ocular injuries. • To date, scattered case reporting provides insufficient insight into the full clinical spectrum of injury and prognosis of foam dart blasters related ocular injury. WHAT IS NEW • This case series characterizes the myriad foam dart blasters injuries that may afflict the eye, most of which are self-limiting, but some of which may result in poor visual outcomes and lifelong disability in pediatric patients. • We strongly recommend that all users wear eye protection while using foam dart blasters.

Clin Ophthalmol 2022; 16:1971-1984. [PMID: 35733617 PMCID: PMC9208732 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s359309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Scleral buckling (SB) remains an important technique to master for those interested in treating rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Several ways to repair RRD include pneumatic retinopexy (PR), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), SB or a combination of these. There is a growing worldwide trend that favors PPV as the preferred method for retinal reattachment of primary uncomplicated RRD. Reimbursement issues, operating room access, and technological advances in PPV that improve retinal visualization and less exposure to SB during fellowship training may explain this trend. As the number of SB cases decreases over time, there is a risk that SB becomes a dying art and surgeons in training may not be trained in SB. SB is preferred in eyes with no posterior vitreous detachment and retinal dialysis. SB with minimal gas vitrectomy may be indicated for eyes with inferior pathology. Non-contact wide-angled visualization with chandelier assisted SB may be well suited for teaching new generations of aspiring vitreoretinal surgeons. Its functional and anatomic results compare favorably with conventional SB for primary uncomplicated primary RRD. The main advantage of this technique is the improved visualization even through small pupils. Better visualization ensures treatment of all breaks while avoiding complications during drainage of subretinal fluid and a safer placement of intrascleral sutures for scleral fixation of the buckling element. Recordings of the procedure are easily performed, allowing the surgeons involved to review the case and learn from it. The main disadvantage is the cost involved with the chandelier and the need to have a microscope or a 3D system with a wide angle viewing system. Photoreceptor re-alignment following retinal re-attachment is an important determinant of the post-operative functional outcomes. Different methods of retinal re-attachment apparently result in different degrees of photoreceptor re-alignment. SB may hold an advantage over PPV in this regard.

Abstract
PURPOSE This work assesses the clinical characteristics and outcomes of various treatment methods in managing rhegmatogenous retinal detachments secondary to retinal dialysis. METHODS In this retrospective, consecutive case series, patients presenting to a tertiary referral vitreoretinal service from 2015 to 2020 were chosen. The primary outcome measure was the single-surgery anatomic success (SSAS) rate in the first 90 days after surgery and overall SSAS rate until the last visit. RESULTS Eighty-six eyes of 84 patients were included. Mean (SD) age was 30 (14.8) years (range, 7-71 years). Fifty-nine (70%) patients were men and 55 eyes (64%) had a history of trauma. Dialysis occurred in the inferotemporal quadrant in 50 eyes (58%) of the entire cohort and 25 of 55 eyes (45%) with prior trauma. Fifty-one eyes (59.3%) were managed by scleral buckle (SB), 25 eyes (29.2%) with laser retinopexy, and 10 eyes (11.6%) with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The SSAS rate in the first 90 days after surgery was 94.1% (81 of 86 eyes), including 90.1% of eyes with SB, 100% of eyes with laser retinopexy, and 100% of eyes with PPV (P = .07). The overall SSAS rate, however, was 89.5% (77 of 86) eyes, including 90.1% of eyes with SB, 84% of eyes with laser retinopexy, and 100% of eyes with PPV (P = .4). Final attachment rate was 100% in the entire cohort. CONCLUSIONS With careful consideration of underlying pathology, all 3 treatment modalities can provide high rates of anatomic and functional success.

Abstract
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a common condition with an increasing incidence, related to the ageing demographics of many populations and the rising global prevalence of myopia, both well known risk factors. Previously untreatable, RRD now achieves primary surgical success rates of over 80%-90% with complex cases also amenable to treatment. The optimal management for RRD attracts much debate with the main options of pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling and vitrectomy all having their proponents based on surgeon experience and preference, case mix and equipment availability. The aim of this review is to provide an overview for the non-retina specialist that will aid and inform their understanding and discussions with patients. We review the incidence and pathogenesis of RRD, present a systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment with special consideration to managing the fellow eye and summarise surgical success and visual recovery following different surgical options.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes after pars plana vitrectomy with or without circumferential scleral buckling, in patients with retinal detachment secondary to retinal dialysis. DESIGN Case series. METHODS A retrospective consecutive case series involving 30 eyes of 30 patients with retinal detachments secondary to retinal dialysis was completed. All 30 patients underwent primary pars plana vitrectomy, with the addition of a circumferential scleral buckle in 24 patients. The main outcome measure was the primary reattachment rate at 6 months after a single surgery. RESULTS Primary anatomical success was achieved in 90% of patients. The final anatomical success rate was 93%, with 4 of 30 eyes still having silicone oil in situ. The main indication for vitrectomy surgery was an inadequate fundal view for scleral buckle surgery alone. The macula was detached in 50% of patients and proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C was found in 23% of cases. The mean preoperative visual acuity was 20/814 (range 20/20-light perception) and the mean postoperative visual acuity was 20/258 (range 20/20-hand movements). CONCLUSIONS Good final anatomical success rates can be achieved with pars plans vitrectomy, plus or minus circumferential buckling, in patients with retinal detachments secondary to retinal dialysis.

Abstract
Among hundreds of thousands of signal receptors contributing to oncogenic activation, tumorigenesis, and metastasis, the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor - also called tyrosine kinase MET - is a promising target in cancer therapy as its axis is involved in several different cancer types. It is also associated with poor outcomes and is involved in the development of therapeutic resistance. Several HGF/MET-neutralizing antibodies and MET kinase-specific small molecule inhibitors have been developed, resulting in some context-dependent progress in multiple cancer treatments. Nevertheless, the concomitant therapeutic resistance largely inhibits the translation of such targeted drug candidates into clinical application. Until now, numerous studies have been performed to understand the molecular, cellular, and upstream mechanisms that regulate HGF/MET-targeted drug resistance, further explore novel strategies to reduce the occurrence of resistance, and improve therapeutic efficacy after resistance. Intriguingly, emerging evidence has revealed that, in addition to its conventional function as an oncogene, the HGF/MET axis stands at the crossroads of tumor autophagy, immunity, and microenvironment. Based on current progress, this review summarizes the current challenges and simultaneously proposes future opportunities for HGF/MET targeting for therapeutic cancer interventions.

Abstract
AIM To compare the effects of scleral buckling using wide-angle viewing systems (WAVS) with that using indirect ophthalmoscope for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS The study was a retrospective analyses of the medical records of 94 eyes (94 patients) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Among them, 47 eyes underwent scleral buckling using WAVS with endoilluminator (Group W), and 47 eyes underwent scleral buckling using indirect ophthalmoscope (Group I). Surgical durations, primary success rate, best-corrected visual acuities (BCVA), delayed subretinal fluid absorptions and surgical complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS At baseline, there were no statistical differences between the two groups in patient's age (P=0.997), gender (P=0.853), symptom duration (P=0.216), BCVA (P=0.389), refractive error (P=0.167), intraocular pressure (P=0.595), the number of retinal breaks (P=0.832), the extent of retinal detachment (P=0.246), subretinal demarcation line (P=0.801), and macular detachment (P=0.811). The follow-up period was 12mo. The surgical durations in Group W (with or without encircling buckling) were significant shorter than those in Group I (P<0.001 respectively). The primary success rate was 94.27% in Group W, which was similar to that in Group I (92.38%, P = 0.931). The BCVA in Group W was better than that in Group I (P<0.001) at 1-month follow-up visit. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups at 3-month (P=0.221), 6-month (P=0.674), and 12-month (P=0.363) follow-up visits respectively. Delayed subretinal fluid absorptions were more common in Group I than in Group W at 1-month (P=0.045) follow-up visit, but there were no significant differences between the two groups at 3-month (P=0.111), 6-month (P=1.000) and 12-month follow-up visits respectively. CONCLUSION Scleral buckling using WAVS can be an alternative choose for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
